Botswana: Men should be targeted in Aids fight
01.02.2006
The fight against the HIV/Aids epidemic in Africa goes well beyond lab rooms and hospital wards and involves social and political issues at all levels of society, particularly male-female gender relations, said a recent United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report on the role of men and HIV/Aids. Though women in areas of southern Africa are three to six times more likely to become HIV-infected than men, gender-related anti-HIV/Aids efforts need to avoid focusing solely on women, the UNDP report said.
